Corbyn’s ‘idiots’ welcome back MP who never quit – and don’t know name of their Brexit spokesman

JEREMY Corbyn was continuing his reshuffle of Labour’s frontbench team as predecessor Ed Miliband claimed there was now an “acceptance” of his leadership.

The former Labour leader said there had been a change of attitude among MPs about Mr Corbyn following his re-election, despite the resignation of two whips following the sacking of their boss, Dame Rosie Winterton.

A series of senior MPs who quit in protest at Mr Corbyn’s leadership have returned to the fold, although the leader’s office appeared unaware that one of the so-called rebels had never actually resigned from the front bench in the first place.
